Friday 20 February 2026 saw a presentation titled “Just because you carry a camera does not
th
Soul of a tree mean you get to disconnect from society”. This was given by the New York based street photographer
Phil Penman.
Phil Penman has documented the rapid flux of New York City’s streets for over 25 years. This was
very evident in his images which ranged from the events of September 11th through to “ordinary”
moments on the streets of New York.
Phil’s distinctive style, versatility, and
dedication to his craft has won him prestigious
awards and exhibitions and distinction
as one of the “52 Most Influential Street
Photographers” alongside industry legends,
Henri Cartier-Bresson and Sebastião Salgado.
His debut book “STREET” launched as the
Number 1 new release on Amazon for Street
Volcanic eruption
Photography and has since become a best
seller and featured at MOMA in New York.
